Please read carefully: The Chat Feature will be turned back on sometime on Thursday 5/30/13. We received word last night that Norton/Symantec is 'whitelisting' Envolve Chat and that any false warning should disappear IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED AND UPDATED YOUR NORTON/SYMANTEC SOFTWARE with the latest virus definitions. (this is usually automatic) but your installation/implementation may be different.

It appear as though the company that provides our Chat feature recently updated their software and now one of their modules is being 'mis-classified' by Norton/Symantec and possible containing a virus. Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

We've added a new Video Section where you can post your favorite youtube videos. You do not need to post their 'embed' code. Just post a link to the video and we do the rest.

Since the maximum number of days a Classified can be posted without 'relisting' the ad (you'll get an expiration notice ahead of time) is 90 days - As of 6:15 PM EST 1/6/2013 all Classified Ads over 90 days old have been purged from the Sailnet Classifieds.

Every now and then Comcast gets a bug up their butt and starts blocking emails from our server. They have pattern recognition software to scan emails and if they see too many emails that look similar they just start blocking your server. I noticed they were blocking emails earlier today and I went to their website and completed a form that got us 'unblocked' so if you see a number of emails flowing through from Sailnet - this is the reason.

The 272LE is a well made and planned out production boat. I have the wing keel model with the westerbeke 10two. It is very roomy and functional below for 2-4 people. The boat sails well to the wind and did good in choppy seas. I have not had any problems with it, but think its weak point is the transom mounted rudder which can shake the whole transom and make a lot of noise on the hook with waves. The only other challenge has been the alternator. The westerbeke has an internally regulated 35 amp model that is very expensive and precludes use of a good regulator.
